[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it matters.  She lives in US and will likely never live in India.  At some point, how your grandparents etc. grow up doesn’t really matter anymore.  It is not going to be relevant to her life and how she will live.  If a parents WANTS to and it is important to them, go for it.  But it is also fine to just let her live in the here and now and bring up heritage and traditions of the past if and when she shows interest or if they are relevant [/quote]

Not sure this is a good idea. The people I know from dual cultures that didn’t learn about the ‘foreign’ one in childhood have been really confused about their identity as adults.

America sees her as not purely White/Anglo. She has to have a good understanding of all that she is and have confidence with it. [/quote]

Your identity is whatever you want it to be.  I know plenty of people that do not care at all what their ancestors did[/quote]

These aren’t ancient ancestors. They’re still alive. [/quote]
